Artificial Tropics.

In the belief that modern science can command climate, Dr. B. w. Richard son proposes that British invalids be given in their native isle the advantages of tropical resorts. This he would ac- complish by establishing winter homes or health palaces, each containing fifty or more comfortable two-story houses, inclosing large square of ornamental grounds, and provided with libraries, baths, gymnasia, amusement halls, etc. Flower lined galleries, giving long promenades, would extend over the houses, under glass roofs, while the central inclosure would be shut in by an immense arch of glass at a great height above the ground. Suit able heating and ventilating apparatus would give an cquable and adjustable temperature to all parts of the structures and any desired character may be i'm parted to the climate. Even cloudy days need not be known, as electric suns could be made to shine at pleasure. In many places winter resorts on grander scale might be created by putting whole valleys under roofs of glass, forming parks of constant beauty and healthful- ness. --Arkapsaw Traveller.

Queer "Ads." in Chinese Papers.

The North China Herald gives one or two very curious specimens of the ad- vertisements which appear in the Chi nese papers. One is from a mother to her son who has run away from home, and it is worded as follows: "Tak e care that you are not struck down by lightning. Your mother weeps bitterly
 for you as she pens these lines in order that they may be read by her son. When you ran away from home on the 30th of the eighth moon, the people of all the shop came and asked us what had be- come of you;it was thus that we learned your flight and since then my food and sleep have benefited me but little. I am still crying and moaning. I have received your letter which has come from beyond the horizon, but it does not tell me where can find you. am now at almost the last extremity, and your family has had to put up with cruel insults from strangers. If you do not return I can stand all this no longer and shall assured:y put an end to my exis- tence, in which case you would be in danger of being struck down by light ming. If you return, no matter in what way, all will be arranged. have even invented plan by which your father will know nothing about your escapade. My life or death is only question of a few days. l entreat all we'll disposed persons to spread abroad the adver- tisement so that it may be read by all whom it may concern.

Differences in Social Customs.

Europeans uncover the head as token of respect or reverence; Orientals never uncover it, and the Turkish ambassador is allowed to retain his fez even in the presence of her majesty. In church all mems heads are bare; in the synagogue it is considered wrong to remove the hat. In China to uncover the head is a mark of disrespect. To salute with the left hand is deadly insult to Mahom- medans ia the East, and for this reason the native commissioned officers of our Indian army in giving the military salute confined it to the sword held in the right hand without at the same time raising the left hand to the forehead, as in the ordinary English salute. Unlike our women who, when they go out, adorn themselves most carefully, Thib- etan women, when leaving their houses, smear their faces over with dark, sticky substance; it is said that they do so in compliance with a jaw made by a certain Lama, King Nomekhan, in order to protect their morals by making them look ugly when in public. The Thibetans also put out the tongue as sign of respectful saluta- tion, and in similar contradiction to our own customs the Malays, Fijians, Ton gans, and many other Polynesians always sit down when speaking to superior. At Natavulu it is respectful to turn one's back to superior, especially when ad- dressing him, and among the Wahums, in Congo and in Central Africa, the same custom prevails. The Todas of the Neilgherry hills show respect by raising the open right hand to the face, and resting the thumb on the bridge of the nose. By way of compliment the people of Yddah shake the clenched fist :; the inhabitants of the White Nile and Ashantee spit on those they delight to honor, and some of the Esquimaux pull
 noses.-[ London Life.

Queer Names of P0stOffices.

have been looking over the list of 55, 143 postoffices in the United States and find some very funny names. If we wish to create man out of tho names,
 we will find Blood in Kentucky and Meat and Bone in North Carolina If we pre- fer getting portions of the body com plete, we have an Eye in North Carolina, Mouth in Oregon, Foot in Tennessee, Leg, Shinbone and Head in Alabama, Breast in Missouri, Hand in Dakota. Finger in Mississippi and Kuce in Cali fornia. To clothe the man we will get Hat in Georgia, Pants in North Caro- llna, Coat in Ohio and Moccasin in Illi- nois. If the man don't want to wear moccasins he will have to go barefooted, as there is not any boot or shoe on the list, although there is Shoe -heel in North Carolina. If we had created a woman instead of man she would have been compelled to go almost naked, for the only article of female apparel to be found on the list is Bonnet in South Carolina. For food the man can have an Oyster, Bread, Coffee, Sugar, Rabbit, Hash, and, if he is not teetotaler, can find Drop in Texas. In fact, he will find anything he needs on the list, and when his wants are ended there is a Coffin waiting for him in Knox county, Tennessee.-[S St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The United States revenue cutter Crawford has been assigned to special duty, besides the regular duty of guard ing the Florida coast to prevent snug gling, that of patrolling the exposed DOT ton of the Gulf coast and preventing vessels from Key West from landing per soas on the mainland without observing the regulations. The Crawford is side wheel steamer of 250 tons, and is 165 feet long, carrying crew of thirty-six men all told All of her work ln con-, nection with marine hospital service is done in addition to her regular revenue duties. Since her connection with this service she has spoken and boarded about 150 vessels, small number of which have been sent to the refuge sta ton at Egmont Key. The vessels are boarded, and if any sickness is found they are at once taken to the station at Egmont. The duty is quite hazardous, as the vessel is liable to become infected hy contact with yellow fever on the ves- se(s

Night-LightS and Insects

Professor A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural College, says: Various az ricultural papers are again publishing the oft-repeated statement that a bright light suspended over tub of water will kill our injurious insects. But if weexclude the noctuide (night fycrs) such as the cutworm moths, army worm moths, etc., e,
 none of our dreaded insect foes can be trapped in this way. Our students col lect thousands of insects each year by placing lights in their windows. This mode of capture never avails against slugs, butterflies, sphinges, agerian borers, codlin moths, many destructive beetles, two-wing flies, or any of the lice, bugs or locusts. Even in case of the lactuids it is no very satisfactory remedy. The moths fly all through June,
 July and August. Thus we are now Guly 8 taking the army worm moths, and many cutworm moths. We shall continue to do so till late in August. Hence the practice of this remedy inn plies diligent labor for several weeks, and yet very likely the natural enemies of these moths will so thin their ranks that they will do no harm next year. All know that it is not every year, but occasional years, that these pests work their dreaded havoc. Therefore it seems more than probable that lights expressly to capture and kill insects afe not to be strongly recommended, if at all. They capture few of our enemies, and these at cost not warranted.

Death Rate Among Children.

The following facts are suggestivc: Full one third of the patients of tho general practitioner arc children. Of all children born about ono in five dies within the first year, and one in thrco by the end of the fifth year. In New York about one-half die in five years. It is with little children as with extreme old age, they are very liable to be sick and their sickness to prove fatal. Of Chose who die within the first year 40 per cent. die of digestive troubles, and about nineteen per cent. die of respira- tory affections. During this second year this order is reversed, about 90 per cent. dying of respiratory and only 9pcr cent. of diseases of the bowels. -- Phila- dclphia Time

Nothing Nervous About Her.

''Tcrrible thing, this ico cream sick ness," remarked Charley, as he was out walking with his girl. "It's caused by something or other called tyrotoxicon. I'm told the ice cream dealers have suf- fered good deal of loss since its ap- pearance. The girls are all afraid of it, you know"
 And Charley grinned to himself.
 They walked on in silence After awhile she hung onto his arm with both hands and murmured:
 "Charley, dear, I do not know what fear is when I'm with you."

Pigeons in Nropean Armies.

No army in Europe is now considered to be in proper tcondition to take the field without an abundant supply of pig cons. The pigeon loft is part of the regular parapherpalfs of every German garrison now; the French appropriate large amounts annually for the birds, and every government in Europe is in the race to secure the best carrier pigeon service. The French, indeed, at the siege of Paris utilized the birds contin- ually, and quite long despatches, com pressed into small space by photo graphic reduction, were sent, one bird carrying during the siege as many as 40,000 messages safely. As the pigeons average forty to forty five miles an hour, it is apparent that they are of greater service than balloons, since they possess the quality of dirigibility. Chicago Times.

Street Travel in St. Petersburg.

A correspondent of the St. James Ga zette writes: ''If civilization is to be estimated by facility of locomotion, St. Petersburg is decidedly bchindhand The streets, although very wide, are abominably paved with kidney potato stones-a bad material, to begin with, and here very badly laid down; and be- sides, there is very often gutter in the middle of a street crossing which would throw one off tho tiny drosky but for the precautions taken by the natives. The drosky is, as street cab, even worse than q Dublin car. It is like very small victoria; the horse is slow, the driver is generally very stupid, there is barely room for two persons, and no pro- tection against, rain As you stroll along the quays you are astonished at first at the number of couples driving in dros- kies, he with his arm around her waist; but this, you presently learn, is not be- cause they are a-courting; it is a precau- ton against being thrown out. But no lady may drive in drosky.
 'At nine o'clock in the evening, the fashionable hour for driving, the Islands a sort of park laid out in drives on the far side of the Neva and reaching down to the sea, are thronged with carriages, in lines two and three deep, of the greater folk of St. Petersburg, who halt their carriages at the Point to get out and talk. The coachmen are all dressed alike, whether they drive private car riages or droskies, in low-crowned black hat, and blue bed-gown tied round the waist and thickly stuffed; it being just as much consideration for Russian Jehu to have broad back as it is to an English footman to have height The harness of the horses is peculiar blue canvas reins, thin trappings with silver chains hanging about, especially over the horses nose. But perhaps the horses would look somewhat cart horse-like in English harness, for they are broadly built, with thick legs and flowing long tails.

A Plant Medicine.

Dr. A. B. Griffiths has demonstrated that iron sulphate, or copperas, acts upon the cellulose of tho microscopic fungi which prey upon plants, but does not affect that of the higher plants them selves. It is therefore a remedy for the most virulent epidemics which attack field and garden crops, and destroys such parasitic germs and fungi as the potato disease, wheat mildew, etc. In one English district this years crop of winter beans has failed on account of a growth of fungus on the roots of the plants-a disease which timely appli- cation of iron sulphate would have cured.

Death Rates fin Different Countries.

In France they have only got cen tralization against the people chiefly for military levies, says Professor Chadwick in the Sanitarian, and now they are only making slow progress with centralization for the people in their places of work, for the protection of the people in their habitations, and for their protection against tyranny in their productive free dom of service. In France the death rate is three in thousand more than in England, which means that there is q preventible slaughter there of 112, 900 lives more than there is now in England. In Germany the mortality of the army is the lowest in Europe, and there is much to say in the way of example of the economies wrought by it, but, under its municipal government, the death rate of the civil population in Germany is very high. It is six in 1000 higher than in England, which means a sacrifice of 125, 900 more lives than IS now annually sacrificed in Eng land. In Italy the death rate is eight to 1000 higher, which implies sacrifice of 24, 900 lives to the wastefulness of ignorance there. In Austria the devas- tation is still greater even than that. It is no less than eleven in 1000 above the English death rate which occasions loss in that empire of upward of 400, 900 more than the present rate in England and Wales But the death rate of the army in Russia is three times greater than that of the army in Germany, and the death rate of the civil population, as described by the Registar General of France is still more terrible. To an in- ternational arbitration decisive case could be made out against the extension of such bad government oyer any popula- tion. These are examples of the waste fulness of ignorance and sloth against the economics of we'll applied sanitary science
